Is this necessarily an organized effort led by mysterious Sith Lords of the Press, manufacturing a systematic and unified message? Maybe, maybe not. One thing is certain, though: The press serves as its own echo chamber. One report from Politico served as fodder for more reporting on the report. That is not journalism, that is echoing a message that most of the writers surely and dearly hoped was true.

There is likely complicit collusion among the members of the press. We have no smoking gun, at this time, other than the 2009 revelations of the JournOList. But maybe there doesn't even need to be an organized group. The press is so solidly and cohesively united for Obama's re-election, that all it seems to take is an article, a wink, and a nod.

This is a rather short piece, demonstrating by example something we know all too well by now: The sychophantic nature of the press, with regards to Barack Obama. Probably, the piece's main utility is the way it serves as a hard example of the bias and the echo chamber.

The positive take? We are fighting them on their own turf and holding our own. One philosophy says it’s tougher to win on the other’s turf. Another says you can’t burn down their homes if you’re fighting on your own turf.

I’m encouraged. The concerted media onslaught is not boosting Obama over 50. He’s maxed out, and they can’t move the needle.

Forgive my crudeness, but I fondly call them the OSLF (the Obama Sphincter-licking Front) or the TICB (the Tongue in Cheek Brigade). I like the first one better. It sounds more revolutionary. Maybe they can start wearing brown berets : )

Ezra Klein is what we in real journalism call a “Little Marxist Shit”. The Wash. Post gave him his own column but they failed to give us the toilet paper and barf bags we need after we read them. (I use the WP as toilet paper. Feels good to give them back some of the crap they give us).

Klein is arrogant and sleazy, which seems to be the hallmark of other leftist writers for magazines also named Klein, as opposed to sane moderate/conservative writers (like Aaron Klein, WND, etc).

He is like the KAPOS of WW2, only thinking of himself while betraying everyone else. Being Jewish, if we were in a war and he wrote some of the leftist crap then that he has now, I would have shot him as a KAPO traitor, the internal equivalent of Hanoi Jane or Lord Haw Haw.

He is a disgrace to journalism, Judaism, and America. Unfortunately he uses the First Amendment to undermine America and gets away with it. That is the price we pay for having a First Amendment, but don’t worry, his friend Obama and the Moslems are working to get rid of it re any criticism of Islam.

Then Klein will feel right at home, until the Moslem Fundamentalists come for him for simply being Jewish, First Amendment rights be damned. Then the JournOList will have been exterminated as would he.

The comments section is our only weapon since we conservatives have no mainstream media outlets to make our voices heard (except for an occasional bone tossed our way from Fox News). Post online comments on every one of their ridiculous articles outing their bias and making them an object of public scorn and mockery. This has become nothing but a shouting match and we have to shout as loud as we can whenever we can.

I sure wish the America-hating, child molesters, sexual deviants and bigots in the state run national “media” would go after their boy, Barry Soetoro, the way they are going after Romney. Every one of those lowlife bass turds need to be in jail for fraud.

Au contraire mon ami. Have you forgotten that George Soros bought up news outlets last year and the year before - my guess is to thickly spread his propaganda....certainly not to discuss his love of Capitalism *~*

I think the term "flak chuckers" is a apt name for the MSM defenders of the Obama Administration's aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their bratty ideological issue like Obama.

In fact, the aged ones are the very ones Tom Wolfe wrote about chucking the flak in "Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers."

Bravo Mr. Mataz!! For the benefit of our not-so-hip Freepers, here is the Urban Dictionary definition of Sith Lords:

1. Sith Lord An Evil Bitch who entices you into giving up your very soul to join her on the Dark Side. Then after she's done with you she will take a shit inside of your still beating heart without even removing it from your chest. The Sith Lord is a heartless, soulless, empty, selfish, beast that feels NO pain. Use Caution.

(Maybe I'm the only un-hip Freeper here but.......oh well.)

I found it amusing that FoxNews called this Romney nonstory their leading story. While the middle east burns and America slides down the drain, Romney calling a spade a spade is the lead story. Unbelievable!

Well, the good news is that newspapers are dying. We had little or no input in them. At least online we can stay on top of the news, search multiple sources quickly...and maybe even cause a few brush fires.

Note, though, that the reason they are dying is the archaic method of information delivery. Paper is dying.

Now, this shakeup has allowed us to make inroads in journalism. That is a good thing. People can now choose between the beclowned 'mainstream' press websites, or better-informed and more salient conservative ones.
